khaki in lals, and ended in December, 1925, when the army of occupation enter- ing Wiesbaden did not even requisition apartments and buildings, but stated that offers would be awaited on the part of the population.

All over Germany to-day mental stock- taking is being taken of the British rule in Cologne. Both minds and pens are calm at this period; a Berlin Cabinet crisis is tce usual a thing to affect the political atmosphere outside the party radius. Most Germans of note, nearly cary political inquirer and journalist have visited Cologne in the meantime. The main impression gained from their report is one that marks the British as the "fincat psychologists in the world- not through lack of imagination, as their enemies say but by a perfect discriminat- ing natural fairness, extended towards everybody, favouring nobody.

THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC.

The British attitude has been to treat the Press as a responsible fody and with serupulous politeness, and the public at large as babes, who must not be excited by the passing show it cannot possibly understand. Journalism and journalists had a snd time both before and' during the war in Germany. Catholic organs were suspected of leanings towards the enemies over the Alps; Socialist papers, when not actually in a state of tempor- ary suspension, were carefully censored. The British allowed freedom to all un- less a Bagrant hothead disobeyed a very sensible and carefully justified warning.

Two other big political factors mack. the seven years' period. As regards internal affairs, at time when Ger many was seething with revolution and broken with starvation and misery, the occupation hit only the rich maa-and did not touch the poor. For the first time the wealthy bore the burden of warfare: their homes, their ears, their hotels, and institutions and public places were re- quisitioned: the great leveller came sud... tary command, not from below in a Communist raid.

Touching foreign affairs, it must be owned that the great asset of the British military occupation in German eyes was that it was a bulwark against the French. No German ever feared covetous British eyes cast on his own age-long possessions. Not hatred of the Frenchinan in person, but fear of his country's land hunger, was at the bottom of the queer code of honour, that has existed up to the last moment.
